Georges Bataille and Contemporary Thought by Will StrongeEnglish | October 19th, 2017 | ISBN: 1474268692, 9781474268691, 9781474268707 | 310 Pages | True PDF | 2.57 MBGeorges Bataille's influence upon 20th-century philosophy is hard to overstate. His writing has transfixed his readers for decades - exerting a powerful influence upon Foucault, Blanchot and Derrida amongst many others. Today, Bataille continues to be an important reference for many of today's leading theorists such as Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy and Adrianna Caverero. His work is a unique and enigmatic combination of mystical phenomenology, politics, anthropology and economic theory - sometimes adopting the form of literature, sometimes that of ontology.
